Woodlands are great places for kids to play and learn more about nature. Natural play is great for children's development: research has shown it can boost cognitive ., increase physical fitness, reduce symptoms of attention deficit disorder and even help improve grades in school!

Take kids to the woods and they will often quickly start playing using their own imaginations.

We still have availability this August in our yurts and cabins nestled in an ancient piece of woodland. Please go to our Accommodation page to see the selection of 4 cabins and 2 yurts. You and your children can then have fun in the woods and here are some free and fun ideas of things to do:-

We are really happy to announce the opening of our 3 new hand crafted cabins, Anderida, Orinoco and Jacaranda!

Anderida is located at the far end of the woodland, Orinoco has views over the neighbouring pastures and Jacaranda sits nestled amongst the wild garlic, the ancient iron pits and our beautiful wild orchids.

The cabins are beautifully designed and appointed and we are thrilled to have them ready for rental. As the leaves are now appearing, they are beginning to take ownership of their location, the primroses surround them and the bluebells circle all around Anderida.
